It doesn't look like Scoliocheta ergatis I have seen where the brown line goes across the eye and slopes backwards rather than a ring right aroundand there is usally a little blotching and a couple of dark dots on the wing. https://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/bare/ergatis.html Not recorded this far south in any iNat observations.
